acoustic

 

think about

heartbeats

by jose gonzalez 

rise

by eddie vedder 

more than life 

by whitley 

or any song 

by sufjan stevens

for example

amp less

soulful in playing

lyrics that speak 

volumes

whenever

wherever

I hear it

I’m transfixed

music speaks to me

in ways I can’t explain

all kinds 

really

but acoustic 

plays to 

a secret part 

of my heart 

I don’t share

it’s a part 

I keep 

hidden

protected

shielded

acoustic sound

is simplicity

naked 

strums purity

its depth

its being

its lyrics

surround

invoking

feeling 

evoking

emotion

speaks to my soul
my core
about the world, its meaning
my meaning

lasting 

long after 

its final

note
